Canton, NY – Marcus Rhett hit a jumper from just inside the three-point line as time expired to lift visiting Alfred State College to a 63-61 win over the SUNY Canton men's basketball team in the regular season finale for both teams on Saturday in the Roos House.

Alfred State took a slim 32-31 lead into intermission. The Roos led by five points (57-52) after Foster hit a three-pointer with 4:07 remaining. The Pioneers finished the game on a 11-4 run to earn the victory.

SUNY Canton honored Deon Foster and Adrian Williams, its two seniors, in a pre-game ceremony.

This concludes the regular season for the men's basketball team. They will wait to see if they get a bid to the 2018 United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) Tournament.
